1. How would you characterize the MySQL vs MariaDB problem? What were the key reasons for MariaDB's creation? Do you foresee this becoming the norm (corporate-community forks) or is this simply a set of really disagreeable personalities? Truly Open Source because all code in MariaDB is released under GPL, LPGL or BSD. MariaDB does not have closed source modules like the ones that can be found in MySQL Enterprise Edition. In fact, all the closed source features in MySQL 5.5 Enterprise Edition are found in the MariaDB open source version. MariaDB includes test cases for all fixed bugs. Oracle doesn't provide test cases for new bugs fixed in MySQL 5.5. All bugs and development plans are public. MariaDB is developed by the community in true open source spirit. MariaDB has a lot of new options, extension, storage engines and bug fixes that are not in MySQL. 2. How does GPL version 3 differ from GPL version 2? There are many differences between the two versions of the GNU Public License, but it’s important to note that GPLv3 serves as an alternative, rather than a replacement of GPLv2. The reason for this is that the two licenses are incompatible, and there is no legal way to combine any code that uses the GPLv2 with any code that will be used under the GPLv3. One of the common issues facing those who utilize GPLv2 software is the uncertainty as to whether other code that is used or distributed in conjunction with GPLv2 Code would be subject to the terms of the GPLv2, including the obligation to make the source code available under the terms of the GPLv2. Prior to the GPLv3, the open source community commonly made a distinction between software that was dynamically linked and software that was statically linked to GPL-governed code, with many presuming that dynamically linked code was a separate program that would not be governed by the GPLv2.

The Research Process In writing a research paper, you will use the skills you have already learned, such as summary, analysis, and synthesis. You will go beyond the readings in the text, however, to add breadth and depth to your paper. Depending on your topic, you might use library research for traditional sources, online research for Internet sources, field research, or a combination of the three.
Each topic chapter provides a list of Research Activities at the end. These suggestions will guide you to source material outside the textbook and provide ideas for research papers. Additionally, make use of the topic chapter links provided on this Companion Website to find more readings on each subject.
What follows is a list of the steps you will take in planning and writing a paper. Remember that writing is a recursive process; you will not necessarily follow these steps in this order, and you may find yourself backtracking and looping.
Find a Subject. If a subject is not assigned to you, decide what subject you are going to research and write about. Your text provides you with a wealth of ideas to start with. Use it as a springboard for discovering ideas.
Develop a Research Question. Formulate an important question that you would like to answer through your research. This helps you narrow and focus your topic. The answer to the research question will become your thesis statement.

...PART I: DESCRIBE TWO PUBLICLY TRADED BUSINESS RIVALS
1.
This research paper is a business analysis on the two publicly traded corporations, McDonalds and Burger King. Both of them are competing in fast food industry. Fast food industry is one of the largest food services sectors around the world. This industry focuses on the lower prices strategy in order to attract customers worldwide. Therefore, S&P Industry surveys suggests that “Our view is that restaurants will be largely unable or unwilling to raise prices much, if at all, for fear of losing customers to the competition” (Restaurant Industry Survey, Standard and Poor’s). On the other hand, the fast food industry is facing great criticisms from different health organizations and most people blame the fast food for causing health problems such as obesity and diabetes to the teenagers and adults nowadays. Recently, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors “passed a ban on restaurant toy giveaways unless the aforementioned meals meet certain healthy nutritional standards for calories, sodium and fat” (Mckinley, The New York Times). The authority urged the fast food industry to balance the nutrition needs for kids.
With the economic downturn, fast food industry is still making money because “During a recession, the spike in unemployment generally leads to declines in consumption levels. When personal consumption expenditure is high, consumers will be more likely to spend money on eating out at fast food restaurants. This......

Abstract:
The main aim of this study is to investigate “the impact of interest rate on investment” in an economy. For this purpose three main variables are selected which are Interest rate, Income level and Investment. Two variables are independent (Interest rate and Income level) and One variable is dependent (Investment).
The hypothesis of this study is that the Investment has a negative association with interest rate and Investment has positive relationship with income. Interest rate has negative effect on investment and investment has a positive relation with the income level.
We use questionnaire for finding our results and questionnaire are filled by different students of business studies. We find that there is a Negative relation between the interest rate and investment. If our finding matches with economic theory and others researchers finding than policy makers can make better policies for the economy.

...Research paper may refer to:
* Academic paper (also called scholarly paper), which is published in academic journals and contains original research results or reviews existing results
* Term paper, written by high school or college students
* Thesis or dissertation, a document submitted in support of a candidature for a degree or professional qualification, presenting the author's research and findings
A thesis or dissertation[1] is a document submitted in support of candidature for anacademic degree or professional qualification presenting the author's research and findings.[2] In some contexts, the word "thesis" or a cognate is used for part of abachelor's or master's course, while "dissertation" is normally applied to a doctorate, while in others, the reverse is true.[3] Dissertations and theses may be considered asgrey literature.
The word dissertation can at times be used to describe a treatise without relation to obtaining an academic degree. The term thesis is also used to refer to the general claim of an essay or similar work.

...Care Procedures
This paper will critique a qualitative research study about how nurses manage patients who refuse nursing care procedures. These articles also explains how nurses view informed consent as not being essential to nursing care procedures.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The clinical problem being examined in the research study is the way in which nurses obtain consent prior to administering nursing care procedures, and the way nurses manage patients who refuse any nursing care procedures. By stating that nurses “do not regard obtaining consent as an absolute requirement” also stating that “consent is preferred but no considered essential” the significance is established and a clinical problem identified (Aveyard, 2004). The author identifies the need for further education of nurses on the need to obtain informed consent for nursing care procedures, and the need for more research of this topic. The role of persuasion in situations of informed consent has been widely commented on. Many commentators argue that the health care provider has a duty not only to give information but also to persuade the recipient of care to accept the course of action considered most appropriate for the patients’ safety.
PURPOSE and RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The study clearly identifies the aim of the study as “to examine the way in which nurses manage patients who refuse nursing care procedures (Aveyard, 2004).” The study identifies two main purposes for the research study as: To examine......

Business Research Paper: Synopsis of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System is a software system that supports and automates the business processes by providing timely and accurate enterprise-wide information for decision making (Vemuri & Palvia, 2006). This paper is based on the research article, "Improvement in Operational Efficiency Due to ERP Systems Implementation: Truth or Myth?" by the authors Vijay K. Vemuri and Shailendra C. Palvia, which will discuss the purpose of the ERP system along with explaining some of the problems under investigation, and by identifying the parties involved that conducted the investigation, and describing the methods and variables used in researching the ERP system. Although, a system such as, the ERP system is very much needed within a business, however, is the system efficient enough to be cost effective. By researching the ERP system, the idea will be whether the investment towards the system is worth having. "Good research generates dependable data that are derived by professionally conducted practices and that can be used reliably for decision making" (Cooper & Schindler, 2006, p.22).

...most students' careers when they are assigned a research paper. Such an assignment often creates a great deal of unneeded anxiety in the student, which may result in procrastination and a feeling of confusion and inadequacy. This anxiety frequently stems from the fact that many students are unfamiliar and inexperienced with this genre of writing. Never fear—inexperience and unfamiliarity are situations you can change through practice! Writing a research paper is an essential aspect of academics and should not be avoided on account of one's anxiety. In fact, the process of writing a research paper can be one of the more rewarding experiences one may encounter in academics. What is more, many students will continue to do research throughout their careers, which is one of the reasons this topic is so important.
Becoming an experienced researcher and writer in any field or discipline takes a great deal of practice. There are few individuals for whom this process comes naturally. Remember, even the most seasoned academic veterans have had to learn how to write a research paper at some point in their career. Therefore, with diligence, organization, practice, a willingness to learn (and to make mistakes!), and, perhaps most important of all, patience, a student will find that she can achieve great things through her research and writing.
This handout will include the following sections related to the process of writing a research paper:

Research Paper about a Research Paper
Research is a way to formulate questions and ideas used to solve a give problem using of all sorts of sources to collect information that would generate a solution. Research in the simplest form could be presented as; my computer keeps rebooting. The research focus could involve looking threw the internet to find web help that addresses the same issue or finding a business that specialize in computer repair by doing a query for computer repair from online in your area or looking threw the phone book. In this instance, someone has prepared both sources with the intention to help find the answer from documented information (Booth, Colomb & Williams, 2008).
Over centuries information and been collected in libraries all the information desired. The information age yielding the internet that contains information collected by others for others to answer questions and develop new questions, and find answers. Research papers are also used as a primary form of learning that begins in elementary school and used all threw college and beyond. Carriers have been built for the purpose of conducting research and writing research papers by teachers, scientists, writers, historians, lawyers, engineers – list is goes on. Educators have established the fact that formal research can be a tool used for learning, thinking and understanding......

...Organizing a Research Paper
Introduction
A research paper is a combination and ultimate result of an involved procedure that entails source evaluation, critical thinking, planning and composition. No matter its objectives, any research paper must attain some common goals. As such, organizing a research paper requires a systematic approach that will enable the researcher to accomplish the intended objectives of the research. Apart from addressing the needs of the assignment, a research paper should have a clear purpose, thesis and discussing the quantity as well as quality of sources. In order to gain experience in research writing, an individual must be familiar with the whole process involved in organizing a research paper.
There are two types of research paper namely;
* Argumentative research
* Analytical research
Although each type has its own specified format, they bear seven similarities when it comes to their organization;
a. Collect printed sources and evaluate them
Assemble materials such as scholarly articles, state documents and other useful sources with regard to the research question. Skim through them to get hint on their importance. One can also evaluate online materials since most of them have useful although random information.
b. Choose a method for keeping notes
You should keep notes on different index cards and ensure to indicate the title or author as this will enable you to recheck the information obtained from the source material.
c. Use...

...Writing a Research Paper in Literary Studies1
The most important aspect to bear in mind is that you are writing a research paper and not an essay!
This means that you are arguing a thesis with reference to secondary literature – it is essential that you
conduct relevant research and that you integrate your findings into your paper.
Things to keep in mind:
• Your paper should have a well-defined topic and a precisely formulated argument.
• Your approach should be recognizably systematic.
• Your argument should remain relevant and clear-cut, consistent and coherent throughout.
• Your secondary material should be discussed critically and documented accurately.
• Writing is a process; you should constantly revisit and revise.
DON’T FORGET TO PRINT, SIGN AND ATTACH THE “PLAGIATSHINWEIS”!
First steps
Many students neglect the preliminary work of the writing process, but if you give it sufficient
attention the actual writing of your paper will be faster and more organized than if you just start
writing. The most important thing is to be systematic in your approach.
1. Finding a topic
Perhaps the most difficult part of any research paper is finding an adequate topic, formulating a
title and making a coherent argument. Once you have decided on a topic or a title, which in
literary studies will most likely involve a certain text, rephrase it as a question to guide your
research. You should also think about the methodology you intend to apply to your analysis.

...are required to apply IFRS. Ten years have passed, what is the effect of mandatory IFRS adoption on these countries, and how IFRS affect on earning management. In the paper, I will discuss this question based on some previous finding. Next, I will use IFRS 9 as a specific case for my conclusion. Finally, I will give my opinion on the effect of mandatory IFRS adoption on earning management.
Key Words: Accounting Standard, earning management, IFRS, Financial Instrument, bank, impairment of asset, IAS39, IFRS 9
I. The effect of mandatory IFRS adoption on earning management
1.1 In 2012, Yi Lin Chua, Chee Seng Cheong. And Graeme Gould publish a article named “The Impact of Mandatory IFRS Adoption on Accounting Quality: Evidence form Australis. This article examines the impact of IFRS on accounting quality by focusing on threes perspectives: (1) earning management, (2) timely loss recognition, and (3) value relevance. In my paper, I will focus on earning management.
First, the author talk about the reason he choose Australia. Because Australia is one of the first countries located outside of the EU that has mandated IFRS and is also the first non-EU adopting country that had fully prohibited an early adopting of IFRS prior to the 2005 mandate. After that, the article propose the three research hypotheses: HI: Earnings management has changed following the mandatory adoption of IFRS in Australia. H2: Timely loss recognition has changed following the......
